my very first hand splint!

I had two hours free from acute care to explore hand therapy!!!  The OT who practically specialized in hand therapy was such an amazing teacher - she truly took joy as her role as educator-practitioner.  With some of her verbal guidance, as well as a colleague's help, I made my very first hand splint!!!!!

This splint is called the Short Opponens Splint, otherwise known as the Butterfly Splint.
This splint works to imobilize the thumb joint while providing a stable post for pinching. 

:) thanks for celebrating this small stepping stone with me!
I feel that I should update as much as I can since with school, I will do so seldomly...!
